“I knew my plugin would become a commodity”

Travis recognized that his contest plugin could be copied and turned into a commodity really fast if it stayed in the repo.

His transition to SaaS isn’t leaving WordPress behind however. He’s still building for WordPress and enhancing the product so it does work flawlessly with our favorite CMS.

Travis says he sees a melding of WordPress plugins and SaaS solutions becoming more and more popular in the ecosystem.
